Not a problem Ben. I am very appreciative to you and everyone who attempted to help me with this problem. Have a great day.

The network I am using this laptop on has the same DNS/DHCP settings, and have no problems routing or resolving DNS names. The problem is on the laptop exclusively. At this point, the customer is leaning towards a wipe and reimage, which I agree with.

Nothing unusual in the IPCONFIG output: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : your-4105e587b6 Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix...

Yes, I previously removed the NICs, tried that exact same Winsock program. Still no good.

Yes, the DNS Client Service is turned on, and also restarted. Forgot to mention that step in the above post.

Ben, there is nothing in the HOSTS file except the loopback and a manual entry for Google.

Ben, I can ping the DNS servers with no problems. I can also access a URL by IP address. My Ip settings are set for DHCP. I have no static settings for DNS on this laptop. I did notice via protocl analyzer that whenever I ping a URL directly, it tries to resolve the name via Netbios over...

I believe this is spyware/virus related. The problem laptop has been cleaned from an infection (no details on the virus name). Here are the facts: * Can retrive IP, DHCP, DNS * Can ping IP addresses * Can perform NSLOOKUP * Can access URLs with manual HOST file entries; but not...

Sorry...should restate my goal Goal: Faster Citrix application access; response time.

The setup is as follows: All sites are connected to main location via IPSEC VPN. (3DES, SHA, Preshared) 1 main location. Hosts 3 heavily used Citrix applications. Has 1 MB T-1 internet connection. 6 remote locations. Access citrix server at main location. Each has 6MB Down/512 KB Upstream...

Tsuji, after some more digging, I have come to understand in a GPO context...the differences between a startup and a logon script. Computer Configuration = startup script. User Configuration = logon script. I was able to get the script working after using Computer Configuration --> Startup...

Thanks for your advice Tsuji. Have a wonderful 4th.

Well...I will definitely be the first to admit that I am an amateur when it comes to scripting, which is why I have posted. My experience with VBScript is very limited, and I am still learning. I've been able to run a startup script to log network drives, printers, and install software in...

PHV, sorry, I did try that suggestion. The script will not execute either manually or via startup. I am assuming the vbscript will not make those registry changes for a normal user. Tsuji, why did you post that response? It sounds a bit mean spirited, and honestly, quite arrogant.

The script, when run manually, does not make the registry changes to normal users. However, it will make changes for admin accounts. I do not want to give normal users elevated privilages to the registry. Anything I should doublecheck on?
